ReCaptcha on ContactUs Page

I am trying to implement recaptcha on the contact us page similarly to the way it was implemented in the CustomerController.

I have added a new dependency "CaptchaSettings"  to CommonController and in ContactUs.cshtml I've added the following:

                @if (Model.DisplayCaptcha)
                {
                    <tr class="row">
                        <td class="item-name">
                        </td>
                        <td class="item-value">
                            @Html.Raw(Html.GenerateCaptcha())
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                }

The recaptcha widget appears, however, when I hit the "Submit" button, even if I haven't entered the recaptcha details correctly it still allows me to submit.

How do I link recaptcha to the Contactus form such that it stops the user from doing a submit (like in Register.cshtml)?

You can not put in the admin panel the ability to change graphics?

To be honest, I think it's much more important to have Recaptcha enabled on all of the "Email to Friend" pages. Whereas having this feature on the Contact Us page prevents us from receiving spam, not having it on the "Email to Friend" pages allows spammers to send spam to others using our mail servers.
